This show started a couple of weeks ago in the UK. I think it started in the US last year but not totally sure. In the UK it’s on Sundays from 8pm to 9pm, and it’s definitely worth taking a look! It’s really touching and Chris Rock is hilarious but also quite heartfelt.

Here’s a quick summary from www.tv.com (http://www.tv.com)

Motivated by his childhood experiences, Emmy Award-winner, actor & comedian Chris Rock, narrates this very hilarious & touching story of a teenager growing up as the oldest of three children in Brooklyn, New York during the early 1980s.

Uprooted to a neighborhood and bused into a primarily white middle school two hours away by his strict, hard-working parents, Chris (played by Tyler James Williams) struggles to find his place, all the while keeping his younger brother & sister in line at home and surmounting the tests of junior high school. This dependable, resilient teen brings a unique, comedic spin to his everyday trials & upsets.

Anyone that watches let me know your thoughts etc… thanks :)

i watched one episode so far, the one when the coach wants him to join the basketball squad.. seemed pretty cool, and no doubt i'll be watchin it more often

^ yup that ep is cool, I'm looking forward to seeing what this weeks is about!

Did anyone catch Sundays episode - I missed it :(

i saw it it was wack

Aw how come? What was it about?

it was a double bill.. one of them was a halloween one, chris went to his first halloween party.. and the other one was about him gettin a bike.. and him gettin robbed by kids on the street

^ was it good? The Halloween one sounds pretty cool, can't believe I missed it!

yeah it was alright, chris went as prince.. everyone thought his costume was lame.. he got rejected by a girl when he asked her to dance.. but then an older girl felt sorry for him and danced with him.. then when he got home his mum went mad at him cuz the contact phone number he left was a fake, when she tried ringing it she got thru to an alcohol shop

^ lol, sounds like I missed a good ep - do you know if it's repeated?

yeah it was alright, the episode before it reminded me of how the local kids round here are like for stealing whatever they can get their hands on.. was also pretty funny :) i'm not sure if they repeat them or not, your best of checking the channel 5 website..

Yeah I will do, thanks for the info anyways :)

your welcome :)

I tried to rep you but it won't let me, you must have been the last person I repped yesterday! :( for you

i stopped watching that show after about 4 episodes. i actually forgot all about it until now.

It dont sound to good, I only watch the series that have 98% good episodes, like Seinfeld, Friends, Family Guy etc. But when and If I get sky hopefully soon I'll look out for that show

^ Just check it out at least once, I think it's really good, Chris Rock gives a damn good perspective of his life when he was younger. If you're a fan of Chris Rock then 9/10 you will enjoy this show.

i agree^^

^ Glad to hear someone does! :)
